African inspiration on Pinterest

 

Not to bore you by stating it again but, I absolutely love visual bookmarking platform, Pinterest (and I swear they're not paying me to say so!). I love being able to easily organise all the beautiful visual inspiration I come across when surfing the net and doing research for projects. It's fantastic to come across a fellow user whose taste resonates with yours – you get to discover so much more creative fodder.

 

If you enjoy Afri-love, you may enjoy the Africa-themed/inspired boards I've created (you can browse without an account):

• African art
• African accessories
• African books
• African creatives
• African fashion
• African furniture & home decor
• African food
• African graphic design
• African illustration
• African music (videos!)
• African product design
• African style
• African-inspired interiors
• Afri-love posts (pins to do specifically with the blog)
• Beautiful people
• Hair au naturel

 

And a few that aren't Africa-specific but are related to some of the general themes of this blog

• Entrepreneurship
• Going Primal
• Marketing
• Women of the World

 

I have several other boards that you might also enjoy, to do with design, illustration, typography, furniture, places and spaces, patterns, colours etc.

I've only visited pinterest once. I think I might visit it again cause it sounds like it makes research easier
